Study psychologist Mikko Inkinen opened All Well-questionnaire’s results and spoke about the well-being of the ARTS-students. According to the All Well-questionnaire, students are in generally happy in their situation in the study enviroment and community. Even so, many are still feeling stressed because of various reasons. Inkinen asked all the participants to discuss about the matter in tables and that evoked some thoughts and suggestions for the improvement. One important suggestion for the improvement was that teaching staff shouldn’t courage students to spend sleepless nights and stress about their studies.

The studio master of the metal studio Janne Hirvonen told, which changes in transition and studio practices are coming in the next semester to Arabia campus. The most notable changes are that the Metropolia culture students are moving to the Arabia campus and there will be partial common use of the studios with Metropolia students. Also moving between the floors in Arabia campus has changed.
